The 20 Best Mother's Day Gift Ideas for Fitness-Obsessed Moms

If you’ve got an active wellness guru mother or you know one, gifting her a present that suits her healthy lifestyle is sure to score you extra brownie points – and dare we say the top spot in the race for favorite child. The big perk of these gifts is that she's actually more likely to use them.

Your standard gifts (a box of chocolates, a new bathrobe, a shiny necklace) will most likely go in the back of the closet or in the trash if she’s more of a #YogaEveryDamnDay versus a #NamaStayinBed kind of mom. Whether she prefers to spend her time hiking in the great outdoors, taking a pilates class with her best group of girlfriends, balancing in a tree pose, or meditating to find her zen, we’ve got the gifts she needs (and deserves) this Mother’s Day.

This lightweight wearable from Fitbit can track all the workouts, steps, and sleep your active mom can handle with a long-lasting battery and simple interface. If she wants to dress it up, swap out the silicone band for a fancier metal mesh gold or silver version.

These multicolored fleece leggings from Nike can perform in the gym and outside of it—without the concerns that come from bland black yoga pants. The added elastic stirrup strap keeps the fit in place, and the hyperwarm fleece tech can keep her comfy on cold days.

Give her a yoga mat that takes care of itself. The mat from our brand Backslash Fit has a mechanism that rolls itself out and then back up once the session is over. She'll just have to wipe it down herself.

No matter what type of physical fitness floats her boat or where she’s going after her workout, this versatile duffel bag has tons of compartments to hold all kinds of gear and accessories, including a laptop and a yoga mat. Interior pockets separate sweaty items and there’s even a removable heat-resistant one for hot hair tools when she needs to touch up and go. Don’t be surprised if she uses this way beyond her class or gym session.

If your mom is busy training for her next road race, give her the tools that could help her smash her PR with these shoes from Asics that are designed for speed. The unique sole is engineered to lessen fatigue and power her past the finish line with soft, bouncy strides.

Whether she’s just starting to learn the basics or she’s already a veteran yogi, this four-piece kit will help strengthen her practice. A color-coordinating mat (that’s also reversible), towel (super absorbent during sweaty sessions), strap (sturdy leverage for when she wants to try out that new pose), and block (for support when she needs it most) give her all the tools and gear she needs to keep the namaste going.

Treat mom to regular massages without actually sending her to the spa all the time (who has the budget for that?) when you gift her this heated massaging wrap which is ideal for rest and recovery days. All she has to do is plug it in, turn it on, and four shiatsu back massager nodes work their magic along with heat to relieve muscle tension in her back. She’ll have you to thank for helping her spring back into action every time.

A smartwatch that doesn’t actually look like it is hard to come by but this one looks like a classic, traditional timepiece yet it also syncs up to her smartphone for music, texting, activity tracking, and more. The watch is also compatible with silicone and leather bands that can be changed out depending on what she’s doing. She’ll like the fact that she can wear it beyond the gym.

Take her water infusing game to the next level with the help of this multifunctional gadget. It has an infusion filter that attaches to the blender’s jar, making it easy to add a healthy flavor boost to water. The blender itself can also pulverize other tough ingredients like frozen fruit to create delicious smoothies as well as soups, iced drinks, and purees so she’ll never be without a nutritious dish or drink to slurp and sip.

Supremely soft but also supremely cool, these sweats are made of organic cotton will become her new everything pant. Not only do they work for whatever physical activity she’s planning on partaking in during the day, but also for running errands, relaxing, and post-pilates smoothie dates.

Like functional jewelry but for working out, these satin silver headphones are as pretty as a pair of earrings. More than just for good looks, their wireless design prevents swinging cords from getting in her way for an uninterrupted sweat session.

Let’s just say that sweat-soaked gym gear doesn’t exactly smell great and likewise they don’t exactly wash the same way like other clothes in a typical laundry load. This duo features The Laundress’ special sport formula made just for sweaty unmentionables in two different formats (and very classy packaging at that)—a detergent and refresh spray—to ensure her leggings and tanks will be good as new (and not wreaking of BO) for her next slew of workouts.

The perfect shell for any outdoor, heart-pumping exercise, this sleek black lightweight jacket will keep her cool even as things heat up. She can even wear it while on her way to a class or the gym and then fold it up and throw in her bag (it won’t lose its form) when not in use.

From the streets to the trail and everywhere in between, these unique wool (yes, that’s right) sneakers will keep her moving forward. Feet stay dry thanks to the finely milled and itch-free merino wool which repels water on the outside but also wicks away moisture on the inside. Its S-shaped sole ensures maximum comfort—seriously no arch pain! The pretty purple color is sophisticated yet sporty enough for when she’s up in the gym working on her fitness or out and about. Either way, she’ll stand out from the crowd in the best of ways when sporting them.

Gifting a mom who is not a fitness aficionado a water bottle might seem like a lame gift, but the mom who’s always movin’ and shakin’ will definitely appreciate a new vessel, especially when it’s as chic as this one. It’s got all the same features that everyone’s come to know and love from Contigo Couture bottles (like a leak-proof lid, stainless steel interior that keeps drinks cold for 24 hours or hot for 12, a wide mouth for optima water flow and cleaning) but with full-body graphics that’ll distinguish hers from everyone else’s and a carry handle for easy transport. You’re sure to find one that best suits her personality with the range of colors and patterns it comes in.
